Lions Club Meeting Tonight Features a Farm Bureau Documentary, "Rural Kansas: Hope Endures."

Tonight at 7:30 p.m. the Barnard Lion's Club meeting will feature "Rural Kansas:  Hope Endures."  The following is an introduction to the film.

"Rural Kansas is changing. Across the state, a steady stream of decline has left small towns drained and diminished.

Despite these trends, small, rural communities have the ability to find innovative and meaningful ways to heal themselves. A new Kansas Farm Bureau television documentary which aired statewide (and nationwide on RFD-TV) in the fall of 2007 tackled that notion head on and made a compelling case that these communities can reinvent themselves.

Rural Kansas: Hope Endures introduces a new way to think about rural development. One based on the fundamental notion that truly meaningful and sustainable change must emanate from within the community."
